Spatial GUI
by tastytrash
Spatial GUI renders inventory and container screens as a 3D plane in the client, with first-person and third-person camera modes that can be configured separately.
What it does
Screens open as a tilted three-dimensional panel rather than a flat overlay. The camera mode can be switched automatically to match the current perspective, or set by hand, and an optional blur sits behind the panel. Each screen can be enabled or disabled from its own list, which helps when another mod's screen does not work well in the 3D view.
Players can adjust GUI scale, render scale, screen opacity and a field-of-view override, with scaling that follows the field of view. The HUD and hotbar can be hidden or shown, a crosshair and mouse mode can be chosen, and a short opening animation plays when a screen appears. Compatibility with other mods is not assured, since both this mod and others may alter GUI or camera rendering; Punchy is listed as having built-in support in first-person mode.
The mod is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.20.1 and for 26.3 among the eight release versions covered by 1.20.1 – 26.3. Three other mods are required alongside it, and issues can be reported on the issue tracker.
Key features
3D screen rendering

Camera mode switching
The camera mode can change automatically with perspective, or be set by hand for first-person and third-person play.
Per-screen toggles
Each screen can be enabled or disabled separately, so screens that conflict with other mods can be left flat.

Use cases
Immersive play
Players who want screens to feel like part of the game world can use the 3D plane with a chosen camera mode.
Mixed mod lists
Per-screen toggles let players keep the 3D view for most screens and turn it off where another mod needs flat GUIs.
Who it’s for: Players who use Fabric, Forge or NeoForge on the client and want a three-dimensional take on inventory and container screens. Servers do not need the mod.
